She's amazing

Not Fazers, but I've got a ZX-9R, my best mate has a ZX-6R. Assuming we ride the same roads (we're about similar abilities), we use almost identical amounts of fuel. On long motorway runs though my 9 is actually better - tends to get about 53mpg sitting at 80-90 where as Tom's 6 gets around 50! I would imagine I might use tyres slightly faster, but in my ownership of 1000s and 600s I've not noticed a massive difference to be honest?

I am sure 1000 is more fuel economic on the motorway, no doubt about that. Tested. However, after a year of riding, which bike will cost more for fuel and tyres: 600, or the 1000. From all I know, 1000 will use both more fuel and more tyres for the same mileage/riding style. Unless you ride motorways over 50% of your entire riding.
